PIP Solar Sending other commands #146

Hi. I would like to know how to send different commands as the .yaml only sends the QPIRI and QPIGS commands. My system uses QPGS0. The QPIGS and QPIRI does not get all the required information from the Inverter.

Thank you!

This isn't possible out of the box. In orther words: This implementation isn't compatible with your device (protocol) yet.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. Is there any other way to get this working in ESPHome?

You could make a fork of the pipsolar component and adapt the required parts. I guess you want to request QPGS0 periodically and decode the (probably?) different response.

So basically, read QPIRI once and just keep reading the qpgso as that has all the relevant information I need.

Could you try to use this YAML the query some raw responses just for testing?

That's confusing. Your inverter responds to QPIGS and QPIRI requests but doesn't respond to QPGS0:

Ok, I am looking at the data and it is now giving me the right information. I did build an ESP32 with monitoring on it and I was using QPGSO for the data I needed. Earlier in the week, I was trying this and it was just giving me zeros on the Charge current yet it was charging at 10A
